Awards and honors

All-SEC Teams

The Southeastern Conference coaches voted for the All-SEC teams after the regular season concluded. Prior to the 2013 SEC Championship Game the teams were released. Alabama placed the most representatives on the 2013 All-Southeastern Conference Coaches’ Football Team, the league office announced Tuesday. Alabama had nine total members, including a league-leading five representatives on the first team. LSU followed with eight total selections.

Twelve of the 14 SEC schools had a member on the first-team All-SEC squad. Alabama led with five, followed by Texas A&M with four. Georgia and SEC Champion Auburn each placed three total members on the first team. Every SEC school was represented by at least one member on the All-SEC teams, including seven institutions with four or more All-SEC selections each.

Coaches were not permitted to vote for their own players. [5]
